[C] If a number is divisible by both 2 and 3, then it is not divisible by 6.

-----

First, lets check the other answer choices.

-----

A number ending in 0 or 5 is always divisible by 5.

10 / 5 = 2

165 / 5 = 33

210 / 5 = 42

355 / 5 = 71

780 / 4 = 156

This statement is TRUE.

-----

A number ending in 0 is always divisible by 10.

10 / 10 = 1

100 / 10 = 10

150 / 10 = 15

470 / 10 = 47

690 / 10 = 69

This statement is TRUE.

-----

If a number is divisible by both 2 and 3, then it is not divisible by 6.

Take 18 for example:

18 / 2 = 9

18 / 3 = 6

18 / 6 = 3

Take 60 for example:

60 / 2 = 30

60 / 3 = 20

60 / 6 = 10

This statement is TRUE not false.

-----

Odd numbers are not divisible by 2.

This statement is correct because no odd number is divisible by 2.

5 / 2 = 2.5

7 / 2 = 3.5

9 / 2 = 4.5

11 / 2 = 5.5

13 / 2 = 6.5

This statement is TRUE.

Best of Luck,
